Finding Time (and Resources) to Make Change
For an already busy veterinary team, the idea of introducing any change can be intimidating. With the right communication, mindset, and ability to embrace change, your clinic can conquer anything new that comes its way.
Change Management Guide
If you're hesitant to change your veterinary practice management software, you're not alone. Many veterinary practice managers and owners have reservations about upgrading, but these fears can often be allayed. Find out how in this helpful guide.
Harnessing the Power of the Huddle
Imagine a team where every player has a crucial role in building a cohesive and well-orchestrated unit. A team where direction, resources, and drive provide an experience that produces a loyal following. A team whose winning strategy builds morale and focuses on touchdowns, not fumbles.
Save Time with Templates
When it comes to running an efficient veterinary practice, seemingly small changes can have a big impact. Depending on the size of a given practice, you might be seeing 20, 30, or even 100 patients per day. Every minute of savings gets spread across those appointments results in meaningful improvements in your day.
Mission Statements
It probably seems like it should be obvious. The mission of a veterinary practice is to take care of animals. Got it… next! But a mission statement is more than another checkbox to tick.
Finding the Time for Change - Productivity Gains Take Change Management
As highlighted in the IDEXX publication, "Finding the Time: Empowering Veterinary Teams to Get the Most Out of Every Day", veterinary practices are undergoing unprecedented pressures as they navigate staffing shortages, hiring constraints, and increased demand for services. The great news is that there is a lot that teams can do to make practice life better. Hiring additional staff is ideal, but not always possible with budget and talent constraints. Finding the Time highlights a number of options practices can undertake to find extra minutes in every patient visit.
While there are plenty of great options to improve workflow, technology, and culture, doing that takes a bit of diligence and an essential element to make sure your changes will work is to understand a bit about change management. It takes more than saying 'yes, we should absolutely move from our paper-based system to a cloud software solution' or 'I'm going to start training my team to take on different tasks.' Understanding the mindset of your team and learning some tricks to supporting them through change is an important aspect.
